First post, and I'm sorry it's the usual "help with new headphones" variety but I've looked through here and just had trouble deciphering the huge amount of info in this great forum.
Here is some information about me and what I am looking for...
Price range: preferably less than $100 USD
Style: Over-the-Ear, probably closed but might consider open back, on ear only if they are super comfortable
Source: almost always an iPod or iPhone with no external amp, though at times would run them through my Onkyo TX-SR607 receiver
Genres: I listen to Rock, Hip-Hop, Country, Classical, Jazz, Electro and Dubstep, Singer-Songwriter
Sound: I'm looking for something flat enough to enjoy Classical/Jazz/Country, but with enough clean bass to enjoy Hip-Hop and Dubstep, and with highs that aren't fatiguing when I listen to Rock and Electronica
Comfort: I am bald so there is nothing between me and the headphones so comfort is important to me as well
Portability: Will mostly listen to them at home, but something with good portability would definitely be a bonus
I think my biggest problem is that I listen to so many genres on a regular basis. It isn't too difficult to find good bass heavy headphones or good studio headphones, but I seem to be looking for something in between. If the best answer is to buy two different $40 headphones that might be an acceptable option but I would prefer one good set that won't disappoint me regardless of what I'm listening to. Of course anything would be a step up from what I usually use now, which is just the basic iPod buds that come with the unit. I hope I gave enough info for some good recommendations and I look forward to your thoughts. Any input is a gift and greatly appreciated.
